Fab Face: Chanel Iman

Eighteen-year-old Fab Face Chanel Iman Robinson, simply known as Chanel Iman in the modeling world, is one of the most diverse girls walking the catwalk these days.

She has all the stats to make it as a top model: She's 5'9, a gorgeous mix of Korean and African American and is known for winking at an audience member as she heads backstage from the runway. There's even a rumor that she once winked at Anna Wintour; it can't be far off considering she made it on the cover of Vogue in May 2007.

Bottom line: Open any magazine, watch any runway show, and chances are you'll find Chanel's big brown eyes staring back at you.

@gildthatlily i know black girls who look like her who weren't considered beautiful by their peers either. you will always find people who are open to different types of looks like people on this site but unfortunately there will always be some people who are too close-minded to see the beauty.

I hope her being considered beautiful is not a trendy thing, but that concepts of beauty have expanded to be inclusive of many looks. I have known so many people in my life who looked like her and were multiracial, and they were never considered model material. Things have certainly changed!
